[0:10] Ha ha ha ha
[0:21] So we moved
to the evergreen neighborhood
[0:23] about seven years ago,
[0:24] and so that's when we started
coming to this playground.
[0:26] The new equipment looks great.
[0:27] I love the shade features
that they've added,
[0:29] and extra picnic tables.
[0:30] There's more swings,
so that helps,
[0:32] because
usually there is a little bit
[0:33] of a competition over
who gets the swings.
[0:35] This is such a big part
of our lives
[0:37] with the young kids
to get out and,
[0:39] you know, meet
other families nearby
[0:40] and everybody congregates
at the playground.
[0:43] So investing into this,
I think, is so important.
[0:50] My name is Josh Kinney.
[0:51] I'm Parks Planner
for city of Woodbury.
[0:53] Evergreen
East and Woodlane Hills
[0:55] are part of a playground update
in Woodbury
[0:57] to refresh
and enhance existing play spaces
[1:00] to better serve the community.
[1:01] These updates
focus on modernizing equipment
[1:04] and creating a safer
and more engaging environment
[1:06] for families and children.
[1:10] We're at
Woodlane Hills Park in Woodbury
[1:12] and we’re installing a
playground, kind of a
little pocket
[1:15] playground in the neighborhood
here.
[1:17] There's going to be a, a two bay
swing here with tot seats
[1:20] and then also belt
seats as well.
[1:21] And this is going to be, over
here
[1:23] you've got a sitting spinner.
[1:25] The kids will sit down
and spin around on it.
[1:27] There's going to be a slide.
[1:28] A double-wide slide
is where the gentleman is.
[1:30] And then in between
connecting the two decks,
[1:32] you'll have a tunnel slide,
[1:34] which as you can kind of see
it's been assembled
[1:35] there and just kind of needs
to be put in place.
[1:43] The new playgrounds
have prioritized safety
[1:46] with updated,
compliant play structures
[1:48] that are safer and have better
surfacing materials.
[1:52] Accessibility has been improved
with inclusive equipment,
[1:55] ensuring
children of all abilities
[1:56] can play alongside each other.
[1:58] I also like
[1:59] how they have
some more interactive features
[2:00] that are throughout
the playground,
[2:01] especially at lower heights.
[2:03] I can see there's like
a cute carrot and
[2:05] and butterfly that
they can twist and turn around.
[2:07] So I think they're going to have
some fun
[2:08] with imaginative
play with that as well.
[2:10] One great thing
about these projects,
[2:13] whether they be a playground or
a park implementation project,
[2:17] is that it really provides
an opportunity for the residents
[2:20] of Woodbury of all backgrounds
and ability levels,
[2:24] to really enjoy
those park spaces
[2:27] within the beautiful
landscape of Woodbury.
[2:30] We absolutely love
going on playground tours
[2:31] around Woodbury,
and it's always on the kids
[2:33] summer bucket list
[2:34] of exploring a new playground
is definitely
[2:37] one of the things that they want
[2:37] to do every single summer,
